Others, like me, call themselves Lidl Capitalists, we love money, but we shop at Lidl, as ordinary folks. We don't invite the Fenechs to our parties because their wines cost more than our kitchen, and besides, we're usually in bed at 9 pm because we have to get up to do things, but we're more than happy. Our greatest worry is when the electrics go out and come back, around midnight, waking us all up. But my wife says it's no big deal; at least we don't have to escape on a yacht.
